I'm gonna have my first job interview on Monday (in Finnish, of course, though the boss speaks English well). I just called the boss to set up an appointment. This morning my friend told me his phone number. She's going back to her home country soon, so she sent her resignation letter today and she told the boss that I would be interested in taking her place.
It's a part-time office job, so we'll see how it goes. One thing I have to negotiate if they decide to hire me is our two-week summer holiday in Rhodes. But I don't want to get ahead of myself...just wish me luck, OK?
P.S. At least on the phone the boss' voice was clear enough, though I could hear background noises HE HE HE HE HE HE...Phew!!! So it should be easier to speak to him face-to-face.
What kind a parttime job this time, Amel??? I wish you luck.
ReplyDeleteHi Amel!
ReplyDeleteBetter than wishing you luck...I prayed for you...so don’t be stressed...just panic! LOL LOL
I love Rhodes I spent a week there a few years ago...lovely place...interesting that there were many Scandinavians on Rhodes and not near as many on the other Greek Islands...
Jasoo, että työkiireitä ! Etpäs ole ehtinyt kirjoittaakaan mitään suomeksi tuonne Pieni ihme blogiin. Kerro saitko työn ?!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and wow re your having had so few face-to-face job interviews thus far in your life! :O
ReplyDeleteOH MY GODDDD! Good luck!!!! I'll be thinking of you! What kind of a job is it?
ReplyDeleteÄlä anna periksi, Amel!
ReplyDeleteI know you can make it. :)
Rukoilen sun puolestasi. :)
I'm sure you'll get the job. It will be easier for the boss to hire you than start looking for other candidates. Your Finnish is very good, so you don't have to worry about that, and you're also fluent in English.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck for the job interview!
first off... i totally love your blog header! And secondly, just passing by from Adgitize hopping... lastly Goodluck on your Job interview!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you. Good luck girl!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you good luck, Mel!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to breathe during your interview. Relax and good luck to you! I'm sure you will have success
ReplyDeleteTo all: THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for the support and prayers!!! :-D The job is a part-time secretarial job. I'll know more about this later on, but it's an office job.
ReplyDeleteYTSL: The reason why I haven't had many face-to-face job interviews is because in Indo I worked for years as a private English tutor and then as a translator. When applying for jobs as a translator, I only had to submit my job application and CV and then they'd send me some texts to translate and they hired me. Just like that. No need for a face-to-face job interview he he he...
Good luck and stay calm! You'll do ok.
ReplyDeleteand how is the interview, mel??
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes on its way Amel! I'm sure you'll do best! Good luck!
